"Zhan Mei? Really? She seems pretty aloof!" Yao Tongjia said hesitantly.
The truth is, apart from the first two days of school when Zhan Mei looked at her with an extremely unfriendly gaze, she had always regarded Zhan Mei as a savior looking at an ant.
She hadn't done anything outrageous before! Could it really be that she hired someone to kill her? Thinking of this, Yao Tongjia couldn't help but shudder.
Before, when no one cared for her, she wasn't afraid to fight against her scumbag father. Now that someone cares for her, she's afraid instead. She's really getting more and more naive as she gets older. Yao Tongjia laughed self-deprecatingly!
Ruan Shengpeng sat up straight and pressed on, "Whose child is Zhan Mei? Does she also live in the compound like you?"
"Yes, Uncle. Zhan Mei's father is said to be a division commander in the Beijing Military Region, the same rank as you! But their family is in such a situation because Zhan Mei is a so-called child prodigy,"
"So their family doesn't really associate with people like us! As for whether her father got promoted, I'm not too sure!" the curly-haired man answered honestly.
Someone in the military? Could they be the mastermind they've been searching for all this time? Ruan Shengpeng's heart pounded violently, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
They've been hunting everywhere these past few days, but each time they've only caught insignificant nobodys. Could this finally be their chance to catch a big fish?
Ruan Shengpeng was so excited he could hardly contain himself. He stood up abruptly and said with a determined look in his eyes, "I have to get out of here right now! Make sure the doors and windows are closed. I might not be back tonight."
Seeing this, Yao Yanxin quickly stood up as well. She knew the hardship and danger of her husband's work, but she did not hesitate at all. Instead, she quickly went into the kitchen and took out a basket of freshly steamed buns.
"These are some steamed buns I just made. Take them with you. You're always busy day and night, and you don't even have regular mealtimes. Please don't let yourself get sick from starving."
Yao Yanxin handed the steamed bun to Ruan Shengpeng, her eyes full of concern. Ruan Shengpeng felt a warmth in his heart, took the bun, and felt his wife's deep affection.
He carefully pulled Yao Yanxin into his arms, a gesture that instantly brought a shy blush to Yao Yanxin's cheeks.
She gently nudged his shoulder and said coquettishly, "The baby's still here."
Ruan Shengpeng knew perfectly well that the child was right beside him. He just felt so good to have someone care about him, and he wanted to hug his wife to give himself some warmth!
Then, he resolutely turned and stepped out of the house! Yao Yanxin stood silently in place, her eyes following her husband's figure, watching him walk further and further away until he completely disappeared from sight.
Yao Tongxu and Xiao Gengwu stood behind Yao Yanxin, watching her gaze at the dark road. Only after she looked away did they carefully check and close all the doors and windows of the house.
Yao Yanxin went to wash up, and Xiao Gengwu pulled Yao Tongjia to sit on the spacious sofa with him, asking with concern, "What exactly happened? Why did you go there?"
Yao Tongjia sighed helplessly and lamented, "I did a good deed out of kindness, but I never expected it would lead me into such a predicament. I almost couldn't come back!"
"Tell me the whole story in more detail, so I can analyze it properly!" Yao Tongjia recounted the ins and outs of the matter without reservation, leaving nothing out.
After listening, Xiao Gengwu asserted decisively: "That person named Meimei must have known about their conspiracy, otherwise she wouldn't have said those words!"
"I guess that's how it is. She's so heartless! I carried her home with great difficulty, while she was secretly plotting behind my back, figuring out where to put me to my death!"
"Judging from your uncle's appearance, the person who wants to kill you today is definitely connected with enemy agents. She will find out how dangerous it is later."
"Even if my uncle fails to catch her, I will still plan to make her pay the price!"
"Don't you dare do anything reckless!"
Xiao Gengwu gently patted Yao Tongjia's head: "What nonsense are you thinking? Don't you trust me to do things? But I guess you won't have a chance to show your talents."
"Uncle must have made some progress. The Zhan family is probably finished this time, and that Meimei will also be caught!"
Xiao Gengwu's mouth is truly a divine prediction! Just three days after he said those words, Ruan Shengpeng finally dragged his exhausted body back.
Surprisingly, his face was filled with excitement and satisfaction.
"This spy incident has finally come to a complete end!" Ruan Shengpeng said excitedly, his voice revealing a sense of relief.
Upon hearing this good news, everyone gathered around, and the curly-haired man rushed to the front, eagerly asking, "Uncle, is there something wrong with the Zhan family?"
It's important to understand that the curly-haired man grew up in a large compound and possessed a keen awareness of what was happening around him. Therefore, it's not surprising that he was able to detect any potential clues immediately.
Ruan Shengpeng nodded: "That's right, the Zhan family is one of the enemy agents hiding in Beijing. They are very well hidden. If he hadn't sent his men to deal with Tongtong this time, we probably wouldn't have been able to find out his true identity!"
"How could this be?" The curly-haired man shook his head in astonishment, saying incredulously, "No way, no way, he has made real contributions in the past, why would he choose to become an enemy agent?"
These kids grew up listening to their grandparents' war stories, and Commander Zhan was one of the heroes. Now, to tell them that a hero isn't a hero is really shattering their worldview!
Ruan Shengpeng took the water glass handed to him by Xiao Gengwu and drank it all in one gulp. He sighed and said, "Half of his blood does not belong to our country. He has been brainwashed since childhood, which is why he has chosen this path."
This topic struck like a hammer blow, plunging the room into silence. Everyone realized that the problems left behind by history were far too numerous and too complex!
Yao Yanxin didn't want everyone to remain silent: "Now that your mission is complete, shouldn't we go back?"
Ruan Shengpeng countered with, "Yan Yan, if... if we had the chance to live in Beijing, would you be willing?"
Yao Tongjia was somewhat surprised: "Dad, your boss wants to talk to you. Do they want you to stay in Beijing?"
Ruan Shengpeng hesitated, then looked at Yao Yanxin: "If you don't like it, we'll go back! I've already spoken to the boss, and I need to ask for your opinion!"
"Mom, why don't you stay?" Yao Tongxu immediately asked his mother. Everyone says that having a mother is a treasure, and it's so great to have food to eat every day when I come home!
